Yeats’s collection of 1899 is steeped in Irish myth and the Celtic Twilight. The host of the Sidhe ride from Knocknarea, the wandering Aengus seeks a glimmering girl, the fiddler of Dooney plays for his neighbours, and Aedh, Hanrahan and Michael Robartes voice moods of love and longing, followed by the poet’s own notes on the legends behind them.
Contains some of Yeats’s best-loved early lyrics, including The Song of Wandering Aengus. Download the free EPUB.
